The Background
• Acne is so prevalent, it’s estimated that more than 85% of people between the ages of 11 and 50 have breakouts at some point
• Approximately 1/3 of adult women are estimated to suffer from acne
• Although acne is generally associated with oily skin, for many, their skin may actually be dry or sensitive– Dermatology Times (2002) reported that adults
generally prefer less drying topical acne medications
4
Pathogenesis of Acne: The Principal Factors
Increased sebum production
Abnormal keratinization (cell production) ofthe follicular epithelium
Proliferation of P. acnes
Inflammation
5
Forms of Acne
Acne lesions can be:• Open comedos: blackheads• Closed comedos: whiteheads• Lesions containing pus: pustules• Lesions that appear reddened/inflamed:
papules(These lesions may be painful)
• More severe: nodules and cysts, may lead to scarring

Treatment Goals
ScarringPost-inflammatory hyperpigmentationAge (is acne the primary concern or is photoaging)Skin type (more oily or more dry/sensitive)Lifestyle/Patient complianceTreatment history (any possible reactions with prior
treatments)
Match the most effective form of treatment with the form of acne presented by the patient
Other factors must also be considered including:
10
Treatment Options
Topical• Best for non-inflammatory and inflammatory mild to moderate
acneOral/Systemic
• Prescribed for non-responsive moderate inflammatory acne and severe nodular/cystic acne
• Topical treatments may be done in conjunction with most oral medications
Surgical/Physical Therapy• Provides relief and enhances the appearance of the existing
lesion• Does not address the primary causes of acne
11
Penetrating Acne Therapeutic System
• Normal to oily• Normal to dry
CLENZIderm M.D. Systems:Three products Formulated to work together Clinically proven solutions to clear acne fast Easy to use, highly effective acne Systems
12
Benzoyl Peroxides
Current formulations contain insoluble crystals of BPO• Too large to enter hair follicle• Impending lesion reduction
CLENZIderm M.D. BPO• Uses solubilized technology (SoluZyl)• Enhancing follicular penetration• Producing a greater reduction in P. acnes• Creating enhanced lesion reduction in as early as two
weeks
13
Targeting acne at the source
• Current BPO acne products are made up of macro-crystals which primarily sit on the surface of the skin
• CLENZIderm M.D. was shown to penetrate more deeply than the leading Rx acne product
